Huge tempo gain if played on turn 4 or 5 (and game-winning alone if played on turn 1 or 2 by druid). Great addition to my face Hunter deck. Only gets actually rekt by volcano, but Hunters always get screwed by Shaman anyways.

I see a lot of comments like Volcano destroys this, but when it is played turn 1, by a druid you will never get to turn 5 to even play it. 4x8 is 32. GG, and that is if he doesn't Mark of Y'Shaarj it and kill you earlier than turn 4.

Thought this guy was the 5-drop to slam in aggrodecks (druid, warrior, hunter). Haven't seen much of him on ladder, destpite these decks being fairly popular. Haven't seen him aside from one tournament either.

Great in some matchups, terrible in others. It's typically a dead card against decks like Token Shaman/Druid, because they can just plow a bunch of 1-mana minions into it, kill it, and deal like half your health in the process.

Saw this dude dropped on my whilst playing a Pirate deck (death threats on a post card please) and took an educated gamble. Ran all four of my minions into and then face tanked it to chip 15 off my opponent. Guess he thought I'd just go face.
